What’s going on with Vitamin C as a possible way to prevent and even treat COVID-19? The idea is being touted as ‘fake news’ with no scientific backing at all, in North America at least. Right now, the idea is being heavily ridiculed everywhere you look within mainstream media. The latest news comes from Detroit, Michigan, where the FBI recently raided the practice of Dr. Charles Mok, the owner of Allure Medical Spa. At his facility, he was treating COVID-19 patients with intravenous vitamin C.

One week ago he explained to FOX 2 how his Vitamin C infusions were supposedly helping COVID-19 patients.

“I’m mostly seeing people that are mild to moderate illness and they turn around pretty quick usually after one or two doses they are remarkably better,” Mok said. “We are giving them more of an immune booster, an intravenous high dose Vitamin C, we are also using things like Zinc and Glutathione and a B complex.”

As a result of going public, he attracted attention from the FBI, who raided his office. He’s now been charged with health-care fraud and conspiracy to commit health-care fraud after allegedly submitting false Medicare claims for “medically unnecessary services,” including “high-dose intravenous vitamin C infusions to patients at risk of contracting COVID-19” and those who had already tested positive, according to a criminal complaint by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. “(source)

But this didn’t happen in New York. For example, according to an article by the New York Post,

Seriously sick coronavirus patients in New York state’s largest hospital system are being given massive doses of vitamin C — based on promising reports that it’s helped people in hard-hit China, The Post has learned. Dr. Andrew G. Weber, a pulmonologist and critical-care specialist affiliated with two Northwell Health facilities on Long Island, said his intensive-care patients with the coronavirus immediately receive 1,500 milligrams of intravenous vitamin C. Identical amounts of the powerful antioxidant are then readministered three or four times a day, he said. Each dose is more than 16 times the National Institutes of Health’s daily recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C, which is just 90 milligrams for adult men and 75 milligrams for adult women. The regimen is based on experimental treatments administered to people with the coronavirus in Shanghai, China, Weber said

Dr. Weber told the post that vitamin C is helping a “tremendous amount.” The post also claims that multiple hospitals on Manhattan’s Upper East side are using Vitamin C as a coronavirus treatment throughout the system, but the protocols differ from patients to patient.

This is odd, instead of health authorities actually looking into this potential treatment and working with others to see if there is any validity to it, they simply shut down the idea, and they do so in such a dramatic fashion. Not only does this recent raid exemplify that, but again, the complete ridicule of the idea that intravenous vitamin C has any potential at all within the mainstream media.

Is our healthcare industry really about healthcare and finding the best possible way to treat patients and the diseases they have? Is the ability to turn a profit a factor at all when it comes to federal health regulatory agencies and the medicines they approve and recommend, as well as the ones they ridicule? Would they go as far as completely ridiculing and shutting down any treatment that can be effective, but cannot turn a profit in the same way a vaccine can, for example?

Meanwhile, when it comes to China, Medicine in Drug Discovery, of Elsevier, a major scientific publishing house, recently published an article on early and high-dose IVC in the treatment and prevention of Covid-19. The article was written by Dr. Richard Cheng, MD, PhD, a US board-certified anti-aging specialist from Shanghai, China. Dr. Cheng has been updating everyone via his YouTube channel about vitamin C treatment cases out of China for quite some time now. In that particular article, 50 COVID-19 patients with moderate and severe symptoms were all treated, and recovered.
